.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
Laverna's Brute is a password cracker auditor utilizing a custom high\-speed cracking engine, support for a nearly limitless number of threads, cracking auditing NTLM hashes, (Support for others can be easily added) and future plans for GPGPU acceleration via OpenCL\&. (ATI and Nvidia support)
.sp
For users without a supported GPU, a high\-performance CPU\-only processing path is available\&.
.sp
Anything that can be offline cracked audited is a potential candidate\&.
